How our hog roast for events works in Alfold Crossways
Agricultural shows and country events near Alfold Crossways are a natural home for a hog roast, on a field, serving all day. We’re frequently asked to cater town and village days and summer fêtes, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and crackling.
Near Alfold Crossways, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
